Geekiness is that feeling of overwhelming passion for that thing in life that you focus on. Whether it be a nephew's first few steps or the timbre in one's voice when discussing the latest Cohen brothers film.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think we all feel geeky at times, don't we? Isn't that all a part of the wonderful tapestry of life?
The term 'geek' for me is like you having a passion, interest in something that is unabashed and you don't care if people think it's not cool. You think it's cool and that's your thing.
I'm not geeky but I have my geeky, corky moments, and then I've got some aspects of cool in me, I guess.
I think the whole definition of a geek is somebody being passionate and focused, and being proud of saying that they're passionate and focused, on a narrow range of subjects.
What's great about the geek spirit is that life never seems to stop us, and they never seem to kill our enthusiasm, our optimism and our hunger to experience the world. We keep our sense of humor, we protect our dignity, we talk to our friends about the experience and then we start again fresh the very next day.
Being a geek is a great thing. I think we're all geeks. Being a geek means you're passionate about something and that defines your uniqueness. I would rather be passionate about something than be apathetic about everything.
I'm quite comfortable with being a geek. I've been a geek since high school.
Geeks are people who love something so much that all the details matter.
I think I'm probably quite geeky in a lot of ways. I'm pretty into books, kind of obsessive about that.
The substance of what it means to be a geek is essentially someone who's brave enough to love something against judgment. The heart of being a geek is a little bit of rejection.
